Challand Middle School Mission / Vision Statements

I have chosen to be a middle level educator, for I recognize that the years of early adolescence are pivotal and abound with individual potential and opportunity.  Therefore, I will care for these students personally, listen to their voices, respect their concerns, and engage them in meaningful educational experiences that will prepare them for a promising future.

I believe that every young adolescent…

  • has the capacity to learn, grow, and develop into a knowledgeable, reflective, caring, ethical, and contributing citizen.
  • must have access to the very best programs and practices a school can offer.
  • must be engaged in learning that is relevant, challenging, integrative, and exploratory.
  • thrives academically, socially, and emotionally in a democratic learning environment where trust and respect are paramount and where family and community are actively involved.
  • faces significant life choices and needs support in making wise and healthydecisions.
  • deserves educators who are prepared to work with this age group, who are themselves lifelong learners and committed to their own on-going professional development and growth.

Therefore, I proudly dedicate myself to becoming the best middle level educator I can be and an active advocate for all young adolescents.
